I had the 429303.  I used it once and it was a b*tch to open the handles and on about the 4th or 5th casting, I broke the handles pulling the mold open.  Later on I found that it was only supposed to be use with straight Linotype.  Since that's hard to find these days, I sold it on eBay and bought another mold from Midsouth Shooters' Supply.

NOE has a version of the 429303 available right now. I don't see a 358 version offered. These bullets are little more than a wadcutter with a point on it, and have never really caught my interest. I do see a 2 cavity 429303 on Gunbroker, but I won't consider it because of the rather high price.

I consider myself luck to be rid of mine for enough to buy another mold...
